Chapter Twenty-Nine
The three Charlottes watched the bare-chested Zenas face the winter wind and the morning light towards the distant mountains, and the appearance of Zenas at this moment was completely different from the first time he was escorted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he was embarrassed, his whole person was full of domineering momentum! Like an unsheathed divine soldier, he wanted to use his body as a sword to open up a new era with his own hands.
Charlotte and Claire watched as the unsheathed weapon moved farther and farther away, speechless.
"Let's go back, Your Highness Princess. Claire said softly, "We have to get back to the room before Salik notices something is wrong." ”
"You're right!" Charlotte nodded in agreement.
He and Claire turned, only to find Vivien Leigh gazing at Zenas's back like a pensive sculpture. This abnormal phenomenon made the two good friends frown in unison.
"We have to go, my eldest lady!" Charlotte angrily took Rafeferen Leigh's hand.
Her slender fingers were cold, and it wasn't until Charlotte touched her fingertips that she shivered like someone awakened from a dream.
Vivien Leigh looked at Charlotte in a daze, she lightly pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "I—I always felt very ...... at that moment I—I seemed to see fire and broken swords, ruins and broken walls, starving children, slain farmers, crows hovering in the air, a man sitting on a rock, his armor tattered, humming a ballad......"
Charlotte and Claire looked at each other, and they thought that Vivien Leigh might have seen something from her past life.
Charlotte put her arms around Vivien Leigh's shoulders and gently comforted, "Don't think too much, people will inevitably have some visual hallucinations in their lives sometimes." I myself had a dream of a group of wives and concubines a few days ago, and I haven't seen it suddenly come true!"
"That's right!" Claire added, adding, "I had visual hallucinations when I was a kid and saw myself sitting hungry in the snow. But now, I can't imagine the day I went hungry!"
Vivien Leigh was put on Charlotte's shoulder, and she looked back at Zenas frequently, a faint unease appeared on her beautiful face.
After hearing Charlotte's and Claire's persuasion, she forced a smile, "You're right, maybe I suddenly remembered a nightmare, maybe ......"
At this moment, noisy footsteps suddenly came from the dark passage, and the three of them glanced at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
The three geniuses who are also the top in the multiverse show their powers, Charlotte turns into a shadow and melts into the shadow of the castle, and Claire gradually turns into transparent ripples in front of everyone's eyes.
Vivien Leigh, on the other hand, was more direct, instantly activating the power of her blood, and even though she didn't have any spell casting, she blended into the environment perfectly as if she were the best stalker.
The three of them climbed quickly towards the castle along the jagged boulders under the castle.
In the secret passage, Salik and the chief knight of the family came out in tandem. As soon as they stepped out of the tunnel, they issued a series of orders for the soldiers to set up their formations, and at the same time the heralds summoned the troops to block the entire county of Cecil.
"I don't understand!" the chief knight heard the sound of urns from his armor, "Isn't Zenas known as a model knight, why would he be with the undead?"
Salik's eyes were red, and a mocking smile appeared on his wolf-like face, "When a man breaks his oath and kills his lord, and gives up his family name and honor, he doesn't care about anything. ”
"But judging by the trajectory of his life, it is impossible for him to come into contact with the undead. Although the chief knight disagreed, he did not dwell on it repeatedly, "But I only need to catch all the criminals." ”
"Maybe he's been plotting with the undead a long time ago......" Salik suddenly thought of something, "Wait! Powerful female knight and undead mage!
The chief knight looked back and asked, "What?"
"Of course it's our good guests!" Salik smiled like a jackal, "the naïve knight princess and her brother! Maybe that boy is actually an evil mage who specializes in necromancy, hmph!
"Don't be impulsive, Salik. The knight chief grabbed Salik, who turned around, "That's the two kings of the North!"
Salik looked back and grinned, "I know!
When Charlotte and the three finally climbed to Fort Earl Cecil, they saw such a tense scene.
The guards were firmly guarding the castle, and Salik was bending down like a dog's leg to say something to Count Cecil, who had probably returned the same way through the dark passage to return to the castle so quickly.
And the original simple and cute Count Cecil had lost his original amiable appearance, and he touched the fluff on his chin with his hand, and lowered his head with a thoughtful expression.
After a long time, he jerked his head up and said to Salik, "Is the news reliable?"
Salik thought for a moment, bowed his head and replied respectfully, "I can't be sure, but I can't think of anyone else in Cecil's territory at the moment other than them who fits these characteristics better!"
Count Cecil took a deep breath, "You're right! Since he rejected the olive branch offered by the Prince, he is destined to become the Prince's enemy! Let's go! Let's go and meet the legendary Two Kings of the North for a while!"
They made their way to the castle under the protection of a group of guards.
Vivien Leigh nervously looked at the shadow in the corner of the wall, and she asked softly, "What should I do?"
A small voice came into her ears, and Charlotte's unexpected composure at the moment reassured the princess who had just done something bad, "Don't worry, do you see there?
Charlotte was grateful for the season she was in, because it was winter, and the morning light was much darker than expected.
Although the Earl of Cecil sent troops to guard the main entrance, he obviously did not expect that the Grand Duke and the Princess would climb up the stone wall of the castle like a thief. Well, and in full view.
When Vivien Leigh finally dragged a panting Claire to the eaves of the castle window, the knock of Count Cecil could already be heard in the hallway of the castle.
Without hesitation, the three of them stepped on the cornice of the castle and climbed into the room from their respective windows.
Charlotte walked towards the bed as she tugged at her clothes. He had barely had time to unbutton the aristocratic winter hunting suit when he saw the door of the room rudely opened.
Baron Salik stood in the doorway, with a jackal's excited expression when he saw his prey, "Your Highness Charlotte, you look like you've just returned!"
Charlotte froze for a moment, and soon he pretended to yawn, put on the noble winter hunting suit that was about to fade, and rushed to the door with an indignant expression.
"Salik, you are too deceitful! Enter a nobleman's room without consent, I have never seen such a rude person! Is this the hospitality of your Cecil?" Charlotte stared at Salik, sweating on his forehead.
He pointed to the threshold and whispered to Salik, "Now, get out of the door, or I'll let you know the consequences of angering a Grand Duke and Master Mage!"
Salik's originally vicious eyes shook slightly, and he subconsciously retracted his feet.
The door slammed shut, and Charlotte wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
